How do I get out this Cartridge

Appreciate any advice on how to get out the enclosed cartridge from attached Moen faucet in my shower. Do you recognize the model? I have experience changing the cartridge from the Moen 1225 model on the sink. This looks different.

Then you pull the clip out the top (just like the one you're familiar with, except larger) and use the tool to pull the cartridge. They can be sticky sometimes if there is hard water involved. There are both kits and replacement cartridges, which are expensive compared to the 1224.

The standard Moen remover does not fit the Positemp unless it is the newer model. Grab the stem with a pair of visegrip pliers and pull hard, while slightly twisting it. Once it starts to come out, when the tabs are out of their recesses, you will be able to rotate it and then it will slide out easily. Notice which side the "hot" marking is on so you can install the new one the same way.

I really don't know what these guys are all whining about. There is a small white plastic tool that comes with the new cartridge You just remove the clip slide the tool all the way on and turn it. This frees the cartridge and you pull it out, Then you post back and say how easy it was and ask them just what the heck they where whining about.

I'd say its probably because they pitch the supplied tool in the trash and try all the wrong tools.
